An Untitled Protest- Country Joe and The Fish

Obviously a protest song against military action in Vietnam, this song convinced many songwriters and composers that the lyrics did not have to any sense -just as long as you can jazz it up with some studio production and some percussion. Even though the song is not my favorite, it still has some inventive qualities to it. “The End“ by The Doors might have came into being because of this song; and Country Joe’s vocal phrasing is very unique. He manages to sing several words at a time in places, and stresses on words such as “eyes“, “sky“ giving it the feel of an Indian campfire song. His performance at Woodstock was great and I enjoyed him. Love you Joe :)
